# thrd_join

From cppreference.com
< c‎ | thread

Defined in header ``<threads.h>`` |  |
int thrd_join( thrd_t thr, int *res ); |  | (since C11)

Blocks the current thread until the thread identified by `thr` finishes execution.

If `res` is not a null pointer, the result code of the thread is put to the location pointed to by `res`.

The termination of the thread synchronizes-with the completion of this function.

The behavior is undefined if the thread was previously detached or joined by another thread.

### Parameters

thr | - | identifier of the thread to join
res | - | location to put the result code to

### Return value

thrd_success if successful, thrd_error otherwise.
